    Jakko

    Very kind indeed. A most generous offer.

    I've got a copy downloaded and will have a look at my leisure.

    Thanks again.

      Thanks

      Quick update: with a bit of luck, a version 1.1 will be available soon — not long after I get a printed copy back and confirm that earlier issues with professional printing are now solved.

        Hi Jakko

        Are you going to actually publish this as a printed book?

          Not as such, but I am going to put up PDF files intended for printing, so that anyone who wants a hardcopy book can upload it to an online print service and get them to run off a copy (or multiple). I had it printed like that:

          [ATTACH]396509[/ATTACH]

          However, this had a number of minor problems that I needed to solve first. I did that and ordered a new one to see if it’s actually fixed it, but I haven’t received it in the mail yet. Hopefully it’s OK now, in which case I’ll put up the files for download, together with a corrected and very slightly expanded version of the other PDF files. This could take a little longer still, though, because someone contacted me just today and supplied more information I didn’t have yet …

            Update!

            I’ve now (finally) finished version 1.1 — it took longer than expected, but I’ve corrected mistakes, added new information that only surfaced after I released the previous version, included some new photographs, and more. Also, I created a version intended for printing as well as one for viewing on a computer or tablet screen, so you can have a proper book printed up if you want.

            Download a (new?) copy from tankwrecks.westerbeke.name, still for free!

                  Thanks Jakko, downloaded and will read soon. You've spent a lot of time doing this and it shows even with a quick look through, well done.

                          The one remaining wreck was removed this afternoon:

                          [ATTACH]407008[/ATTACH][ATTACH]407009[/ATTACH][ATTACH]407010[/ATTACH][ATTACH]407011[/ATTACH][ATTACH]407012[/ATTACH][ATTACH]407013[/ATTACH]

                          It was lifted off the monument and put onto an Army trailer to be taken to the workshop of a museum not that far away for restoration.

                            Jakko,

                            Downloaded it - had a quick "flick" through (That took an hour!! :flushed: ).

                            Amazing research, which has produced an amazing book !! :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
                            I am always fascinated by this type of book with the "then & now" type history, maps and photographs.
                            I can spend hours reading and re-reading chapters.

                            If you ever decide to have a few copies bound - please let me know, as I for one would certainly
                            purchase it.

                            Thanks for letting us all download this for free.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

                            Paul.
                            :smiling:

                              Thanks If you want a printed version, you can use an online printing service to have one made for you, by using the “for printing” file and reading these guidelines. (The other one could be printed, of course, but it’s not set up in a way printers like.)
